At Equativ, we’re on a mission to develop advertising technologies that empower our customers to reach their digital business goals. This means that we rely on massively scalable, widely distributed, highly available, and efficient software systems; the platform deals with over 6 million requests per second (+500 billion/day) handled by 3,500+ instances with less than 250ms response time.

Our innovation team based in Paris, Nantes, Limoges, Montreal, Krakow and Berlin is composed of 190+ straightforward and energetic engineers working in an agile environment and ready to tackle the most complex technical challenges.

You will join our fast-growing R&D within the exchange backend development teams. Your specific team’s mission is to improve our ad exchange platform seeking better performance, higher maintainability and faster scalability. As a member of the team, you’ll get to work on production challenges, whether they are short-term focused (e.g. improving an algo to save CPU) or shaping the future of our platform (e.g. scaling it for the cloud). As an intern, you’ll get to learn and grow within an international team composed of several areas of expertise. You will join the Auctioning feature team, made up of 5 developers, a Product Owner and a QA engineer, working at the heart of our real-time auction engine. You’ll report directly to a Senior Engineer in this team.
